The Fronhof in Puthze , which at that time belonged to the Füssenich Monastery # Das Stift , was first mentioned in 1194. The Catholic Chapel of St. Johannes Nepomuk is a branch church of Kirchherten . It was first erected in 1766 as a baroque building and replaced in 1888 by a single-nave, neo-Romanesque new building based on plans by Erasmus Schüller .

On February 27, 1945, the time of National Socialism and the Second World War ended in Pütz . Allied troops crossed the Rur on February 23 (see Operation Grenade ); On the night of February 25th to 26th, 1945, they took grottoes under constant fire. Most of the German Tiger tanks withdrew.
